CC3: Faded Layers

Hello lovelies - well I seem to be a little confused - I thought the new Little Claire challenge would start today so was all ready to post my GDT card when I was told it was going to be next week - I do hope I haven't mucked this up - anyway - I've decided to post my CC3: faded layers challenge card today - this was so simple but I adore how it turned out ... what do you think?

I cannot reveal the method for creating the background - thats part of the challenge and you need to check out the compendium of curiosities volume 3 to find that one out. I did use the Holiday knit stencil though - and the topper is a blueprints stamp that I stamped and painted with distress ink.

Here's about the prizes in the challenge.
As always, a “Curiosity Crew’s Choice” winner will be selected who will receive a fabulous assortment Tim’s products, courtesy of Tim himself and Mario Rossi. To be in with a chance of winning you must visit each of the team members’ blogs and leave a comment there.

The Funkie Junkie Boutique is back to sponsor Challenge 8, and lovely owner Linda Coughlin has $25 shopping spree to one very lucky CC3Cer– just in time for those amazing new summer products that are hitting the market!

Ah Rachel, Penny is adorable - I hope she gives the tooth fairy a bit of a rest now though! Your card is beautiful, you have done a wonderful job with the faded layers technique, it looks amazing with that stencil. Hugs, Anne xx

What a fabulous card, I love the stencil it's a fantastic background.. I'm so behind with these challenges.. I have a bunch of stuff I want to do.. Just don't get a chance..Ahhh this tooth fairy lark is an expensive business lol.. Thank you for you lovely comments on my blog Rachel you always support me and I really appreciate it Px

Rachel...your Christmas card really turned out spectacular! I love your background colors you've used for the faded layers. They are awesome! I love that new stencil of Tim's, too. It reminds me of those heavy winter sweaters that I used to see so much of as a kid. :) I also really like your application of Tim's blueprint snowflake in the center. Very nice card! Thanks for joining us and sharing your art at CC3C. <3 Candy
